He's got a tight schedule if he's going to cover every dealership. 2 pics max and then back on the road.. or helicopter... maybe private jet. I don't know the exact mode of transportation, but he has a mission to finish.

Ok. Now go check all the other dealers.

Someone send DaaS a courtroom sketch artist before he forgets what it all looked like.

How does this not have a livesteam, photos, a dramatic reenactment?

Which BTW, does not include me. I selected one of the new colors, so I'm just pretending that I would have paid $12K for paint to sample for this color, which I know is a lie, but that's how I keep from crying myself to sleep and clutching my $12K close.

You are missing his point. Some people pre-purchased tickets when only night one existed. Then when Ticketmaster sent out the tickets for night one they didn't send them a ticket. In fact, they even held onto a few tickets. They then gave those "held" tickets out to people who purchased...

Unless you are driving the semi-truck with a sign that says “It’s me MIGZ”, with todays date, I’m not sure I can trust you. (Just to be clear, this is a joke that I assumed MIGZ would get, it's not actual criticism)

My dealer gave me an update as well. Said if they get these approved in January, and then they get them sold in February that he will be able to catch up on his child support payments and that his ex-wife would then allow him to see his kids "soon" and that they may stop calling her yoga...

This thread is definitely a grower.

He's got a point. It's your conjugal visit. Your 10 minutes. Guard normally doesn't ask questions.

If you use the 3D configurator from the interior view, this is what the center console looks like under the shifter:

I wouldn't actually reject the car. But I'd make sure it's known that my disappointment can only be cured by lower PPF prices.

Not entirely sure what you mean. My confirmation lock statement only shows which options I selected, not necessarily every option the car has. I tried to go to the Lotus USA site to see if I could still find a photo of that feature, because a long time ago a photo existed on their own website...

Certainly makes me want to shop the business, but with these cars having paint issues I’m also nervous they will deny work if someone else does the PPF.

"Wasted" ???? Quite the opposite my friend. Every time I look at this cars MSRP I'm reminded of why I still have to show up to work each day. Coming to this forum is a constant reminder that I'm signing up for long term repair bills and the need for long term employment beyond tomorrow. No...

I'm an October 2021 order that got submitted as an FE2.0. My dealer just told me that the latest data shows me as a Feb/March build with an April/May arrival.

Just got an email back from my dealer. They said they'd look into it and get back to me soon.

I emailed my sales person late last night. I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm trying to be patient and not just call him today since I already emailed.

Sometimes it's good to have perspective on our wait... I put in $2.5K 2.5 years ago. It's WAY better than $250K 6 years ago. https://jalopnik.com/its-still-very-funny-that-1-000-people-gave-tesla-250-1851038764

I'll counter that with those of us having 2021 orders, but paying $12K more for exact cars arriving at same time.

Agree. It's expensive to transport a car across the country right now, much less to ship it overseas. And I get that Lotus gets some volume discount, but this price isn't that far out of line with already being discounted.

What color is that in the back right?

It will take longer than a few days just from pure logistics. Not all 500 are appearing at once. Then mix in individuals schedules. It will take some time. BUT, during that time the dealer will likely keep getting more FE2.0 manuals.

Yeah. I’m trying to figure out when to sell other cars, because in MO you can use the sale of one car to offset the sales tax of another, but I think they have to be sold within a few months of the purchase. So trying to figure out timing and save a few grand on sales tax.

That would be perfect to be honest. Going to Hethel for track time in April. Come back and then picking up the car would be perfect.

So it sounds like the start of 500 cars are coming now, and those cannot be delivered until sometime in January (let's be honest, February). Would it be crazy to assume that FE2.0 V6 manual cars may start hitting by May?

I assumed up to this point that all the other cars you were allowed to see will be destroyed and be deemed unsafe for human contact

I’m now worried about how many cars KitKat will be allowed to “see”.

Therapy Tuesday is going to be WILD on here.

Did this anonymous dealer happen to slide you a Zoom call-in number for this meeting? Maybe call-in, and broadcast it on discord for us, or Twitch... whatever streaming platform you prefer... we are not picky

The tapes are clearly AI edited.

I can't believe they sent you photos of your car on blocks after thieves stole everything including the interior... that has to be heart breaking.

Well, I'm an FE2.0 orderer from Nov. 2021. Going to be in Hethel first week of April 2024 for their Emira Introduction to Sports Cars class. Just booked lodging at Dunston Hall Hotel. Hoping to go learn how to properly drive this car, and then hopefully by the time I'm back in the states they...

I don't think people think the dealers are lying. I think people think the dealers and being LIED to, and they just report whatever they hear regardless if they have suspicions themselves. My dealer since I put a deposit down in 2021 has been consistently negative about Lotus, and will openly...

100%. I think I remember videos of them doing batches by color. So it could be Emiras 1, 14, 87, etc being delivered first.

Released to dealers (while a step forward and added certainty that NA won't be forgotten) is still a crucial step away from "allowed to be sold to clients". I'm just wondering where some of these dealers will store these cars. The dealer I bought from has a show room full of Ferraris and...

We can’t even tell you if a CARB certified NA FE1.0 will be on the continent within the next 6 weeks, much less tell you with any certainty if Lotus will make another version. Your guess is as good as anyone’s. Flip a coin and let the coin decide.

Very sneaky...

Even if it's the last ICE engine, I wonder if a car brand still has to fill out the paperwork for every model regardless of engine type.
